I drove my friends SS around the parking lot after work. This thing doesnt even feel like it has a clutch. I started it up and tried to get it out of first and got confused. Like I seriously thought that I wasnt holding in the clutch. I moved my foot and stalled it. Then I finally figured it out after getting out of the car and looking to see if I was actually putting my foot on the clutch or the footrest. So then I got it moving. Not impressed at all. I dunno if its because I have a 4v or whatever but this thing isnt all that responsive. I for real almost just parked it because I didnt want to drive it back to where he was at. Poo Poo :notnice:

That's crazy.. maybe there's something wrong with that one..

I drove my buddy's '98 SS with a Spec Stage 3 and it was great.. nice and smooth

Another thing to remember about their clutches compared to ours.. their's are hydraulic :(

I test drove a 00 Z28 before I purchased my mustang
and I was not the least bit impressed either.The clutch
was not very forgiving I will tell you that.The clutch on my mustang feels 100X better.
Does your friend have a mullet or chew chewing tabbaco?

:lol: :rlaugh:

Nah.. no mullet or tobacco chewing here, altho I do give him lots of crap about it :D

It's always interesting to hang out with him and another one of our friends. When we park beside each other, it's my car, the Camaro SS and a blue SRT-4 :shock: :D

Hydraulic clutches certainly do feel a lot different than the stang's cable clutch. Even driving my friend's Integra, I almost stalled it because of how suddenly it engages. I wouldn't say camaro's are crap though, the SS is pretty hot (IMO). I got a ride in an LS1 Z-28 and seeing my friend get the car sideways on the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifts convinced me of the power those cars have

The clutch in my TA and my g/f's TA are both rather normal :shrug: but I'm always driving different vehicles all the time at work so I could just be used to all the different clutch engagements and feel
and jumping from the Stang to the TA doesn't take any getting used to. I guess my biggest gripe about the TA is not being able to see where the nose ends [when you're sitting in the car you can only see about 1/3 of the front end before it dips down so you have to guess where the nose is when parking or turning]. I owned an old 68' Vette for years so you'd think that by now I'd be used to having to guess where the nose is but it still bugs me:(

I had a '98 Z28. The drivetrain was amazing. Solid, powerful and smooth. The rest of the car was crap. I had it for 2 years before I totaled it and had to replace the rotors twice and each of the window regulators and motors. The crap Monsson speakers blew too, several times. They had a lot of build quality issues. But the LS1 and T56/4L60E were solid!

I had the 4L60E and stock ran 13.4's all day, consistantly.

funny you should mention the window motors. My friend replaced the passenger side motor in his 94 Z-28, and it broke the next day lol.
